I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.
I need energy every day. Whether I'm leaving home and going to practice or getting in the car with my two kids to take my son to school - I need all the energy I can get.
I have a Dominique Wilkins Hawks jersey that I still wear. That's probably my favorite one. What's funny is that I spend all this time collecting jerseys, and now people are out there collecting mine.
Whatever I have to do to help us win, I'll do.
What I really try to do is take different pages out of different players books.
The least amount of buttons [in suit], the better. If you have to go with three, you can go three. But all that eight-button stuff? Nuh-uh, not a fan.
One of the things you learn when you go overseas is how much a lot of the countries overseas really just like to enjoy life.
Keep practicing. Never let someone tell you you're too small or too slow.
It's a business now. But you still have little butterflies in your stomach before every game.
I'm not much into anything too flashy.
I was always into sports games. Never really played anything else. I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam.
I trust my wife more than I trust myself.
I hate losing more than I like winning
I had never been to Oklahoma City before. I had no clue. Just heard there were a lot of tornadoes.
I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam, then moved on to NFL 2K on Dreamcast. The game I really loved was Virtua Tennis.
I can dunk! I can dunk, and not just in NBA Live.
I always tell D-West, 'We're the leaders on the team, and if we go down, we've got to go down shooting.'
Exercise and good nutrition helped make me what I am today and are critical in allowing me stay on top of my game.
I always have said that the most valuable thing I have isn't money; it's my time.
Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.
Every now and then you're going to get beaten, but we work hard.
Even today a lot of people know me because of my grandfather.
Being close ain't good enough.
Sometimes the fans are too nice.
People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.
No matter where you put me, I don't care if it is North Carolina, Florida, California, New York City; I'm going to be who I am.
If my son is happy, then I am happy.
I've been a winner my whole life.
I've always been vertically challenged. I never grew at all until my junior year of high school-if you call that growing.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.
For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.
Being from North Carolina, it's kind of slow-paced. There's not too much going on there, whereas in New Orleans, there's always something going on. I just love all the people, going out to dinner and enjoying anything I want.
I love Polo. I have a lot of Ralph Lauren suits. I got Dolce, I got a little bit of everything. And my favorite thing about Ralph Lauren is that he puts the number three on a lot of his clothes, so I feel like it's meant for me.
